That would be awesome. It would be even more awesome if the AI director 2.0 was used and the new specials would also spawn.

Crash Course isn't doing much for me.

The map rounds are long..but succeptible to rage quitting.

They have tanks super consistently; i guess that's their way of making a "quick game".

The first round is super hard to pass if the infected are halfway competent. Too difficult for survivors imho.





So who's pre-ordered L4D2?

I just did. The demo should be out very shortly for those who did...I'm very excited.
Anyone else?

The demo is pretty fun so far.

I'm still not sure how i feel about zombies during the day. I thought the night time settings of the first Left 4 Dead were great and added a lot to the atmosphere of freaky spookiness.

I found the levels in the demo to be a bit more confusing than the original as to where to go and how to get places. There are arrows around to point you in the right direction but it was still kinda easy to get turned around and not know where i was going.

The new weapons are pretty good, i'd rather use a pistol than a melee weapon tho.

Having witches that wander will certainly spice things up a bit i think. A bit harder to avoid. The new special infected seem ok. The spitter has a lot of potential.

I absolutely LOVE all the gore in this version. When a zombie gets hit with a bullet there are nice bloody goopy wounds that open up where they're hit.

no, just people trying to poke the angry mob with a stick by trying to downplay their concerns, whilst not contributing anything of value to the discussion at hand.

PC Gamers aren't as big a minority as some would think, I think piracy just takes a majority of them "off the grid" when it comes to figuring out the retail market.

So when they actually DO pay for something, I'm sure they'd like to feel rewarded and incentive for doing so.

I mean shit, WoW has like, what, 15 million players at this point? that doesn't sound like a minority to me.

I don't see how a multi-billion-dollar market can be a minority at any rate....


Anywho....do we know that Steam intentionally gave preferential treatment to consoles, or was this a production issue?

Oh, it wasn't preferential treatment to consoles. The release to XBox live was handled by Microsoft, I believe, it's just that Valve probably wanted to iron out a couple things before releasing it.
I was just angry, and being a whiny gamer.

To be honest, I was more pissed at the lack of communication by Valve than the delay. I would have been a lot more patient had they released a statement explaining the delay. Instead, they let gamers wait til a scheduled release time, get pissed that it wouldn't get released, then post another one, not release on time for that one, and kept doing that for over 24 hours.

Well in the case of borderlands (different game i know, but still Steam related)

the game was out on consoles on the 20th, pc was delayed til the 26th. rabble rabble right? rumors abound, official statement was special PC optimizations, which aren't really apparent at all. others say it was a money grab to get as many console sales as they could before the pc version came out and got pirated.

well guess what happened, Steam had my preorder money for a week, and in that week, console gamers got to max up and beat the game, pirates obtained a reviewer copy before the game even came out on retail, completely absent of any copy protection/anti piracy. So they can play online because..

1. no official matchmaking service, they pawned it off to gamestop.
2. you don't even need a cd key to install it anyway and it doesn't check it apparently for any other purpose than start up.

essentially it sounds like the retail version with a no cd crack would be identical to the review copy.

I guess I got the game last, for being a good customer :\

Thank you for "adding value" to the discussion by taking two whole posts to accuse me of not "adding value" to the discussion. I think I'll take your suggestion and show some sensitivity to the overly sensitive pewling coming from the churning litter of PC gamers who've been completely "fucked over" by Valve making a sequel to Left 4 Dead.

Also, I never said that PC gamers were a minority. I said a passionate minority of PC gamers had an overdeveloped sense of entitlement. I mean shit, I never realized that a likely awesome sequel to an awesome game could be something to get offended about. Now that I think about it, I'm pissed!!! I'm so pissed I'm going to complain on the internet and pretend like I'm not going to enjoy the fuck out of Left 4 Dead 2 when I finally get my hands on it!!!!!!

Wow. When did I say I wasn't going to enjoy L4D 2? I started this very thread out of excitement for L4D2, even though it was mixed with surprise.
Take a freaking chill pill, here.

I mean to encounter a minority should be a rare thing, a bit more shocking i'd think, but to imply it's not shocking conveys to me that you classify more than just a minority of PC gamers as hyper-entitled.

silly thing to argue over really, I don't even really care for the L4D games, gave me a headache in less than 10 minutes, something about that particular FPS engine, I dunno.

All I'm saying is that squawking over the rabblerabble of expectations on public display is about as silly as the rabblerabble itself.

course, now i'm squawking over squawking about the rabblerabble, so I'm just as bad. drat. Oh well, taking one for the team.

I apologize if you got swept up in my generalizations. I got caught up reading comments on some online petition concerning the game in question and was commenting on those folks.

Shauk, I agree that squawking over squawking is squawking, but that's kind of the point of this place: to comment on things.

Hey everyone. I am thinking of saving some dough by buying a L4D2 4-pack for PC. Cynthetiq mentioned he might be in for it, and I'm looking for 2 more folks to make it worthwhile. I did the math and it works out to about $34 each (so an $11 savings from pre-order, and a $16 savings from full price).

Anyone?

lots of sandy vagina in this thread. I was on the cusp of buying L4D when L4D2 was announced... Pre-ordered it a few days ago, have been playing the demo for a few days. Seems pretty fun. Only played 1 or 2 rounds of L4D so I feel like the purchase is entirely worth while, based on what I've seen so far.

I finally got on a team that was good enough to beat the demo on expert on the 360. Man a lot of people suck at this game.

The people that I find the most annoying are the ones that run ahead to get all of the items, use their health packs when they are mostly full so they can pick up another health pack, etc, run ahead to get all the kills because it helps their ego. Basically those that don't know how to play as a team.

People are figuring out how to play as infected (on the PC). However, they're having trouble increasing the 4 player limit, so it's only like half-versus.

But playing as the new infected is definitely fun. I can't wait for November 17th.

I like the game but have been distracted by a few things from work to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It's hard to switch back and forth so L4D2 has been sitting.

I convinced aberkok to reinstall this on his machine. I have it, but I've barely scratched the surface.

Who's in for a virtual meetup to play?
When are you typically available?
What's your Steam userid if I don't already know?

I know a few of you have this, so let's organize some game nights.

I'm on steam every night. Usually on later (after 9pm) between Tuesday-Thursday, but the rest of the time, I'm around. If we set up a regular night, I'd say Friday.

What! What!

I will simply check in on the evenings to see who is logged in.

So basically: if you're available and willing to play, be sure to log into Steam and remain on standby.

Cool. Apparently, the last time I played was in January, and I've logged a total of 117 minutes of game time.

Not sure about this weekend myself. My brother-in-common-law gets into town tomorrow afternoon.

I'm thinking later tonight for anyone who's available. And, more generally, I'd like to do the occasional pickup match, so let's just keep this conversation going.
